Yea i hunted behind my house a few years back. I was only about 200 yards in the woods and all of a sudden i hear leaves rustling behind me. I got my bow ready and slowly turn to my right to see my 2 golden retrievers coming right to me. The one was our duck dog and she has a remarkable nose. Needless to say they got away from my sister when they smelled my trail. I even sprayed before i left. They amaze me.
